Which one of the following sketches correctly describes a lever of second class ?

A lever is a simple machine classified into three types based on the relative positions of the Fulcrum (F), Load (L), and Effort (E). The classification is as follows:

• First-class lever: The fulcrum is positioned between the effort and the load (e.g., a see-saw or scissors).
• Second-class lever: The Load is located between the Fulcrum and the Effort (e.g., a wheelbarrow or nutcracker). In this class, the effort arm is always longer than the load arm, providing a mechanical advantage.
• Third-class lever: The effort is applied between the fulcrum and the load (e.g., tweezers or a fishing rod).

Since Option C identifies the arrangement where the load is situated between the fulcrum and the effort, it correctly describes a second-class lever.
